Being a generalist is less fun when you don't have specialist colleagues around to teach you new things and take over the tasks that require actual experience, training, intuition, etc.

Awesome! Much of the (non-technical) WFMU team who worked on this ended up landing in product and eng roles later in their careers... and I suspect working on this project was an influential experience for many of them (it certainly was for me). Thanks for your help in making it happen!

The Internet Archive mirrors a subset of the collection here: https://archive.org/details/freemusicarchive
IIRC this is a point in time snapshot from some years back, but likely sanitized of any tracks that may have more restrictive licenses.

I worked on the FMA back in the early days when it was still run out of the WFMU office.
There's some really killer stuff buried in there alongside some solid netlabel output from the teens. It was very actively curated in the beginning but it quickly became hard to find the good stuff and after a couple years of emphasis on promoting royalty-free music for film it kind of drifted away from its original mantra of "It's not just free music; it's good music".
Honestly kind of bummed with where the project landed, presumably sold for peanuts to a for-profit so they can use it for lead gen.

There’s a fantastic (now out of print) biography of Edwin Armstrong that is worth picking up if you stumble across it: Man of High Fidelity by Lawrence Lessing

I've always wanted to start a company that does thoughtful sound design for restaurants using some of these research findings. 90% of restaurant sound is just an awful afterthought.

The conventional wisdom was that people would choose the loudest station when listening in their cars.
But also, the louder your station is the wider your FM broadcast, so you can really fill out the FCC-allowed +/- 0.15 MHz on either side of your allotted channel.

Important to note here that most large individual contributions are made through a DAF or donor-advised fund, which counts as a public source in the support test. This helps donors maximize their tax incentives and prevents the charity from tipping into private foundation status.

We're in the early days of building this over at phaselab.co. We've been taking more of a data privacy angle, but the product helps folks operationalize all of their data lifecycle / governance tasks. There are some existing players who work with email/comms, but for internal technical systems & user data most orgs are rolling their own deletion pipelines.
